"There was certainly plenty to watch and listen to. The tree which Digory had noticed was now a full-grown beech whose branches swayed gently above his head. They stood on cool, green grass, sprinkled with daisies and buttercups. A little way off, along the river bank, willows were growing.

For it is the very mark of Eros that when he is in us we had rather share unhappiness with the Beloved than be happy on any other terms."
